1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Gastroduodenal bezoars are masses of indigestible material that accumulate within the stomach and may lead to obstruction. We present a young female who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, and was found to have a large gastric bezoar extending into the duodenum, resulting in gastroduodenal intussusception. Endoscopic removal was unsuccessful due to the size of the mass, which consisted predominantly of hair. The patient underwent surgical removal, with resolution of symptoms and uneventful recovery. This case highlights an uncommon cause of gastroduodenal intussusception and emphasizes the importance of recognizing bezoars as a potential lead point in patients with obstructive symptoms. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are essential, particularly when endoscopic management is not feasible.
